The story of the growing resistance of Mexican communities to the
poverty that forces people to migrate to the United States
People across Mexico are being forced into migration, and while 11
percent of that country's population lives north of the US border,
the decision to migrate is rarely voluntary. Free trade agreements
and economic policies that exacerbate and reinforce extreme wealth
disparities make it impossible for Mexicans to make a living at
home. And yet when they migrate to the United States, they must
grapple with criminalization, low wages, and exploitation.
In "The Right to Stay Home," journalist David Bacon tells the
story of the growing resistance of Mexican communities. Bacon shows
how immigrant communities are fighting back--envisioning a world in
which migration isn't forced by poverty or environmental
destruction and people are guaranteed the "right to stay home."
This richly detailed and comprehensive portrait of immigration
reveals how the interconnected web of labor, migration, and the
global economy unites farmers, migrant workers, and union
organizers across borders.
In addition to incisive reporting, eleven narratives are included,
giving readers the chance to hear the voices of activists
themselves as they reflect on their experiences, analyze the
complexities of their realities, and affirm their vision for a
better world.
